No Suarez. What's The Plan?

[Tribute]

If West Ham don't sign Carroll we should use him and push Stevie further up field and partner him with Mkhitaryan. That way, we've got an aerial threat up top, Coutinho and Downing down the wing and two attacking mids feeding the ball through the middle.

...club shop's going to deliver some amazing cock-ups with shirt names there...

1) We replaced Torres with Carroll not Suarez, that was another disaster because even though FT was on the decline when we sold him he was still in a different class to Andy ****ing Carroll.

2) Meireles being forced out over wages and replacing him with Henderson and Adam was another idiotic mistake, whatever your opinion of Raul I think we were fortunate to have a player of his quality considering our lack of CL football.

well it's a matter of opinion isn't it.

I can argue that actually, we replaced Torres with Carroll AND Suarez - whilst i know what your reply will be - that we are told (by the club ) that they wanted suarez to partner torres. And we we signed carroll immediatley after signing torres - ultimately tho, we are no worse off from selling Torres



January transfer window
Torres, off form, looking unhappy, struggling for fitness sold for £50m - signed Suarez and Carroll for combined £58m - one being overpriced but a gamble on a young raw english talent that didn't work out - the other setting the league on fire.


The meireles one - Whilst I agree charlie adam was always going to be a ****ing ridiculous signing, however saying meireles was one of best players/shouldn't be sold, nah i'm not so sure, he didn't set the world alight, we haven't really missed and I bet most people forgot he played for us

for me, meireles whilst technically was a good footballer he didn't do much - was he a defensive mid? because he didn't look like he had a tackle in him, plus he wasn't exactly pacy, and he only scored 5 goals in 44 games for us, - yes he could play football - but wanted high wages and we recouped what we paid for him and towards the end of his career (was never going to get better)!

Henderson (again, whilst i do think we paid over the odds for him) is a young talented england u21 captain, great work ethic and professionalism, with arguably the best 6-8 years of his career yet to come

Well, I think that the biggest mistake we did was to get rid of Kuyt. We miss his defensive all over the pitch work.

He helped out in defense, midfield and attack almost at the same time.

this i agree with

i have no issues with meireles going

but in hindsight if we could have, i would have kept kuyt and maxi for another season - we'd be in a much better position now if we had them

My thoughts:

Daniel Sturridge, time to be the man. Borini, once healthy, needs to improve his game dramatically.

Philippe Coutinho moves into the hole.

We need to buy a true winger (Mkhitaryan), a CB (Williams) and another playmaking midfielder (Eriksen).

I expect, in 11 more domestic matches, for Luis to come on the pitch like the fresh man in a pro wrestling tag team match, absolutely on fire with a mission to destroy English football forever. He'll have my full support until the day I die. No one has been more hard done by in terms of injustice in the English league than he has, and I hope he ****ing kills it.

I love the imagery - Suarez straining over ropes put in front of the bench just for his return, waiting for the tag from a seemingly prone team mate. Stamping his feet in encouragement and frustration.

He so needs a Lucha Libre mask

He is not a winger.

He plays in a very similar position as Eriksen.

Ah, so... He would be instead of Eriksen, with Ajax teammate Viktor Fischer on the wing? /AnfieldMole
